Project Saturday

Based at Windward (Netley Marsh), Project Saturday provides a meaningful activity based social group.

Here’s what we will offer you:

• A mixed timetable of activities from 9.45am – 12.15pm
• Sessions supported by trained staff with DBS check and training in adult social care
• A ratio of up to 6 people to one support worker
• Refreshments
• Possible help with transport, including a pick up from Ringwood – there will be an additional cost for this
• Extra support if you have a higher support level – this will have an additional cost based on our hourly rate of pay

Here’s what we will need from you:

• Some personal information (including relevant medical conditions and emergency contact details)
• 24 hour notice if you need a help with getting here (there may be circumstances where this is not possible but we will try our hardest to help)
• £15 for the whole session, payable in advance or on the day
• An agreement to our terms and conditions (see below)

Terms and Conditions:

It is vitally important that you make us aware of any risks for you using Project Saturday, or any risks presented by you to support staff, other people or property. If we feel that you need more support than our usual ratio we will talk to you and your carer/ parent. As a last resort we reserve the right to withdraw the service from you.

You are welcome to bring your own personal assistant / support worker with you.

You will not be able to use the service if you are obviously ill. Your parents/carers will be requested to pick you up and take you home, or if you live independently we will help you to get home. In the event of serious injury or collapse, an ambulance will be called for you. If hospital treatment is required, a member of staff will accompany you to hospital and stay with you until your parents/carers can support you there. For this reason it is extremely important that you update us with any changes of personal information, mobile numbers etc.

If medicines need to be administered during the day, we require by law that you provide us with written authority for that medicine (this includes most over the counter remedies). The medicines must be for you and must have printed instructions from a pharmacist which are clear to follow. The medicines must be given to us in its original container from the pharmacy. This medication will be stored safely and recorded appropriately, according to our administration of medication policy.

Accidents and incidents will be recorded and the relevant people notified

Windward Day Services hold no responsibility for any items of personal property that you choose to bring with you (including i-pods, cameras, phones etc). We will endeavor to help you keep your personal property safe and will keep it in a locked cupboard if requested. Property should be labeled.

Any information you give to us about yourself will be held in confidence. Our aim is to hold information in compliance with the Data Protection Act. In accordance with our safe-guarding vulnerable adults policy, there may be occasions when we have to share information you have given us with Adult Services or other agencies. We will always inform you if this is the case.
